Volunteer

ave you considered volunteering for the Capital Area Humane Society lately? Not only will you learn about animals and get lots of licks and tail wags, but you will also meet others who share similar interests.

Volunteers at CAHS are making a difference!

Volunteer Areas -- Entry Level

Age Requirement

hile the majority of our volunteers are age 16 or older, we do have junior volunteers, ages 12-15.  All junior volunteers are required to work along side a parent, guardian or another adult volunteer over 18-years-old. This is called the “Buddy System.”  It is important that all junior volunteers discuss becoming a Humane Society volunteer with a “buddy” before orientation and plan to attend together.   If a junior volunteer wants to participate in training class immediately following the volunteer orientation, they MUST bring this signed parent permission form (otherwise you will have to sign up for a training class to take place at a later date).

Humane Society volunteers ages 55 and up are eligible for special benefits available through RSVP, a program of Firstlink.

Volunteer Orientations

What’s the first step in becoming a volunteer? Attend a volunteer orientation! Orientation is meant to educate you and provide you an opportunity to get to know Capital Area Humane Society better, while giving staff a chance to learn of your areas of interest. 

Volunteer orientation takes place in the upstairs training hall on the first Saturday of every month and also one additional evening at:

Capital Area Humane Society
3015 Scioto-Darby Executive Court
